“In these snapshots from Mar Express, Earth is the size of an ant that can be seen 100 meters away, and we are all in it. Although we have seen images like this before. But it makes us feel “Humble” and began to stop thinking. ‘We have to take care of this blue dot. And we don’t have a backup of Planet B’,” the team added.
These images were taken using the Ultra High Resolution Channel (SRC) on Mars Express’ High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC), designed to observe Mars’ two moons. and background stars around the red planet in orbit
Although the Mar Express has been away from Earth for a full two decades, But the European Space Agency (ESA) spacecraft still has a lot of work to do before it retires, with ESA stating that we will see Mar Express in operation until at least December 31, 2026.
Its new missions will focus on investigating Mars’ atmosphere and climate. as well as planetary structure, geology, mineralogy, and possible traces of water.
